Tim Krul has returned to Tyneside to hand a team of youngsters a brand new football kit.

The big-hearted former Newcastle United goalkeeper still has roots in the North-East and has been a regular visitor since joining Brighton earlier in the season.

He recently left youngsters delighted when marking the start of a partnership between the popular Killingworth Young Peoples Club and the new sportswear brand PEAK.

With a five-year kit endorsement deal signed, KYPC are looking forward to donning their new bespoke football kit later this season.

Club secretary, Neil Drummond said afterwards: “PEAK couldn’t be a better fit for us!

“As a company they have some pretty strong ties to the North-East with adopted Geordie Tim Krul a big part of the PEAK team.

“As soon as PEAK made their initial presentation to KYPC we knew there was a lot of benefits in forming the partnership.

“Their quality in all they do is evident and the work they have done in producing a match kit for our club which really give us our own identity has been amazing and we have been particularly impressed with the time that Tim has taken personally to be a part of this.

“We are a growing club with massive ambitions and we wanted a kit partner to match this which we wholeheartedly believe PEAK are.”

“KYPC have decided to go with PEAK. In the season I normally haven’t got much time to come up north myself so it’s nice to see the finished products and see the kids wear the new kits

“It will be a couple of weeks yet before the KYPC teams will be showcasing the work of PEAK but keep an eye peeled for their new team strip which take bespoke that step further.”
